Hormones and Skin

Your skin can be effected by your hormonal levels. Acne, oily skin, dryness and wrinkling can all be caused by a hormonal imbalance. As you age hormone levels drop and skin, hair and nails can become dry. Using anti-oxidant rich skin care products can help restore dull, dry skin.

Your dermatologist will tell you that the signs of aging including those of the dermis can be determined by your hormone levels. Women and Men's hormone levels including testosterone, growth hormone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and others affect skin, hair and nails as they age.

To combat the signs of aging, dermatologists can identify problem areas and recommend skin care treatments and therapies that will keep your skin healthy and youthful.

Young Adulthood - Acne & Oily Skin

Acne typically first appears during adolescence and can persist well into adulthood. The cause of acne is most often linked to androgens like testosterone, which are the hormones that stimulate the sebaceous or oil glands in the skin. When the sebaceous glands are over-stimulated by androgens and blocked by dirt an bacteria, acne flare-ups can occur.

Use of oil free topical creams, gels, or lotions with vitamin A derivatives, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, deep exfoliating facials, antibacterial cleansers, natural facial toners and medicated masques help unblock the pores and reduce bacteria. Fluctuations in androgens can cause acne in both men and women.

Middle-Age & Beyond

As Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Estrogen/Progesterone, DHEA and Testosterone decline - skin becomes more wrinkled and dry. The hormones that normally rejuvenate the skin, hair and nails is decreased to such an extent that repair becomes less and less leaving damaged and dull skin cell cells.

By deeply exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting skin - you can combat the signs of aging due to decreasing hormonal levels. Vitamin C, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin E, Alpha-Hydroxies, Peptides, Enzymes and Beta-Hydroxies all help to maintain youthful looking skin.
